Russia suspends the INF Treaty, allowing free deployment of intermediate and short-range missiles!
On August 4, 2025, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that Russia is no longer bound by the suspension of deploying land-based intermediate and short-range missiles.
The Russian Foreign Ministry stated in a statement that the establishment of destabilizing missile capabilities by the Western collective near Russia has caused serious negative impacts and threatens regional and global stability. Moscow's repeated warnings have been ignored, and the U.S. actually deploying intermediate and short-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region has complicated the situation.
Therefore, the Russian Foreign Ministry pointed out that the conditions for maintaining a unilateral suspension of deploying such weapons have disappeared.
